The Ultimate Vampire Resource and Directory

I've had completely unmotivated mornings where I've spent extra time under the covers trying to find an excuse to not have to get up. I've lain in bed until my hips ache, trying to avoid the day.

Someone who's opinion I respect shared a secret with me. Instead of thinking "I have to get up and go to work", I now think, "I GET to get up and go to work", or "I GET to workout," or "I GET to walk my dog." There are SO MANY opportunities that I take for granted or even consider a chore that most of the world would give their left nut for.

I'm fortunate and blessed. I need to act like I'm grateful for what I have. I should BE more grateful for what I have.

We all have those days. I am glad you are finding the light at the end of the tunnel and are pulling yourself outta that funk! :D

Gratitude is a wonderful landing pad.

I love this my friend...and I completely understand what you mean. There are days when it's so tempting to stay hidden under those covers, pretending that the world can "wait." But you're so right, we need that shift in perspective. The idea of 'I GET to' instead of 'I have to' is so powerful, and it really brings to light the gifts we often overlook in our daily routines.

Hope you're well, Happy New Year....
